    Default Myspace Error message-is this for real??

    WARNING - YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED!

    If you are seeing this automated message, MySpace has detected that your computer and MySpace profile has been hacked. You must disinfect your computer within 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in your profile being disabled to prevent it from infecting other users.

    We STRONGLY recommend you scan your computer. Unfortunately, generic spyware/virus programs will NOT clean this specific infection, so we have provided one for you below:

    Also, if you have received any friend requests from strangers, DENY THEM IMMEDIATELY!

    If you see this message again, despite cleaning your computer, please wait at least 2 hours for our system to automatically rescan your account.

    We're sorry for the inconvenience. -Tom

    WTF! I got this message like literally out of nowhere while surfing myspace.. how concerned should I be?

    The last thing I did that I can remember is look at some weirdos page (probably not a good idea actually) that wanted to be my friend. I denied him anyway but what the hell!
    If any of you get a friend request from someone named marcello or marchello something like that, DENY THEM!

    It sounds like a scam to get you to download whatever is at the end of that link. Have you run your virus and spyware scanner? I would also go into your profile in the edit mode, and look at your code to see if you have anything there that shouldn't be.

    It was probably a fake link that led you there... what was the url it was at?

    oops I didn't look at the url. I tried to change my password and log off as quickly as possible after seeing that page. I'm hoping it was a scam because thank god I didn't click on the link they gave. If it was for real then I guess I should be worried.

    Did you make sure you were actually in myspace proper and not a fake page before changing your password?

    Yes, that's a scam. The pages are made to look like real MySpace pages, everything is identical except for the address.

    Yes, always always look at the web address!

    http://www.myspace.com/unexpectederrorpage -- make it your friend

    That's the ONLY error page I have ever received. Anything else is not myspace!
